Manny Machado's 5 RBIs lead Padres' 11-1 rout of pitching-poor Dodgers
Manny Machado had three hits and drove in five runs, Luis Arraez had three hits and scored four times, and the San Diego Padres capitalized on the Los Angeles Dodgers' lack of major league pitchers for an 11-1 victory Tuesday night. Dylan Cease (2-5) struck out 11 and yielded three hits over seven scoreless innings while ending his 11-start winless streak for the Padres, who dominated a bizarre game in this rivalry series. The Dodgers won the clubs' season opener 8-7 in a 10-inning thriller Monday, but the second game was barely competitive due to the defending World Series champions' pitching woes. The Dodgers have 14 pitchers on the injured list, and they handed this game over to Matt Sauer (1-1), who had been recalled from the minors to provide bulk innings. The Dodgers stuck to their plan even though Sauer struggled, allowing him to throw 111 pitches while giving up nine runs on 13 hits. Utilityman Kiké Hernández then pitched the final 2 1/3 innings, allowing three hits and one earned run while throwing no pitch faster than 57 mph. Cease issued five walks, but he also prevented the Dodgers' high-powered lineup from making it a game despite LA's pitching woes. He escaped a bases-loaded jam in the third. Martín Maldonado hit the Padres' only homer. Xander Bogaerts had a two-run single, and Jackson Merrill had an RBI triple. San Diego went up 11-0 in the seventh on Machado's two-run single. Michael Conforto got an RBI single for the Dodgers in the eighth. Key moment The Padres mounted their first rally with two outs in the third. Fernando Tatís Jr. drew a walk and scored on Arraez's double to right. Machado singled home Arraez, extending his hitting streak to eight games, before scoring on Merrill's triple to right. Key stat Machado's five RBIs matched his career high. Up next San Diego's Randy Vásquez (3-4, 3.69 ERA) faces Justin Wrobleski (1-2, 7.20), who also is in the Dodgers' rotation solely because of injuries.

Teoscar Hernández hits a 3-run homer and the Dodgers beat the Padres 5-2 to win the series
Teoscar Hernández broke a sixth-inning tie with a three-run homer and Michael Conforto also went deep for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who beat the San Diego Padres 5-2 on Wednesday to take two of three games in the first series this season between the NL West rivals. The defending World Series champions bounced back from Tuesday night's 11-1 loss, a rout so bad for the pitching-strapped Dodgers that utilityman Kiké Hernández pitched the final 2 1/3 innings after starter Matt Sauer threw 111 pitches. Rookie right-hander Ben Casparius got through four innings in his second start of the season, with just one rough patch. He allowed five straight Padres to reach in the second but they got just one run, thanks largely to center fielder Andy Pages throwing out Gavin Sheets at the plate on a 99 mph throw on the fly to catcher Will Smith. After allowing three straight singles, Casparius walked consecutive batters, including No. 9 hitter Martín Maldonado with the bases loaded. Fernando Tatis Jr. then flied out on the first pitch to end the threat. Conforto homered to left-center off Randy Vásquez with one out in the fifth, his fourth. Hernández hit a 420-foot shot to straightaway center field off Jeremiah Estrada with one out in the sixth, his 11th. Freddie Freeman was aboard on a single off Adrian Morejon (3-3), and Smith drew a walk from Estrada. After pulling to 4-2 on Sheets' sacrifice fly in the sixth, the Padres blew another prime scoring chance when Michael Kopech walked the bases loaded with one out in the seventh. Anthony Banda came on and retired three-time batting champion Luis Arraez on a weak popup and Manny Machado on a grounder. The Dodgers, who rallied from a 2-1 deficit to eliminate San Diego in a National League Division Series last year, host the Padres next Monday through Thursday. Key moment Pages' throw home was on the first base side of the plate, but Smith caught it, wheeled around and tagged Sheets. Key stat Lou Trivino (2-0) got the win and Alex Vesia, the Dodgers' eighth pitcher, struck out the side in the ninth for his third save. Up next Dodgers RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-4, 2.20 ERA) is scheduled to start Friday night in the opener of a three-game series at home against San Francisco. Padres RHP Stephen Kolek (3-1, 3.00) starts the opener of a three-game series at Arizona.

Giants' offense erupts to rally past Rockies for 7th straight win, but historic streak ends
DENVER — Making it even more difficult on themselves than usual Wednesday at Coors Field, the San Francisco Giants casually concocted comeback magic yet again. San Francisco entered the eighth inning down by three runs, thanks in part to an inexplicable error by Jerar Encarnacion that helped to shorten Robbie Ray's evening, and they put together a string of bloops, a gritty walk from Casey Schmitt, a liner off the wall by Mike Yastrzemski and a safety squeeze bunt by Tyler Fitzgerald to hatch their 20th come-from-behind win of the season by an uncharacteristically hearty 10-7 score. The Giants have won seven in a row, but their string of one-run wins came to an end at six. Until they tacked on three in the ninth, they'd been in line to tie the major-league record for consecutive one-run wins set by the Cubs from June 6-12, 1927. They remain a half-game behind the Dodgers in the NL West. There was the requisite weirdness involved: Schmitt initially was called out at the plate on Fitzgerald's bunt, with Ryan McMahon zipping a throw home, but manager Bob Melvin — who'd failed to get a replay-review request in early enough the previous inning — leaped from the dugout signalling for a review and the call was quickly reversed. San Francisco hadn't had a man in scoring position since the third when Tyler Kinley gave up soft singles to Willy Adames, Heliot Ramos and, with one out, pinch hitter Dominic Smith. Schmitt walked on eight pitches, fouling off three sliders in the process, and that sent in one run, then Yastrzemski, on an RBI tear and at the ballpark he loves to hit at, banged a double off the high wall in right center to tie it up. Fitzgerald's safety squeeze provided just his second RBI in the past 20 games. Giants 10, Rockies 7 San Francisco AB R H BI BB SO Avg.

Adames turned in another good evening, thumping his second homer in as many nights and another sacrifice fly, too, showing that he is, perhaps, shaking the doldrums that soured his first two-plus months. It took a great play by third baseman Orlando Arcia to retire him in the fifth, he had that single to kickstart the game-deciding eighth inning and he doubled in the ninth and scored on Schmitt's single. Yastrzemski added an RBI single that inning; he's driven in seven runs in the past three games and lifetime, he's got 37 RBIs in 42 games at Coors Field. The Giants' 20 comeback wins are third most in baseball behind the Dodgers' 23 and Blue Jays' 21. Ray, who's made a strong case for All-Star Game consideration, worked just four innings Wednesday. Things unraveled in the third, when Tyler Freeman, the No. 9 hitter, led off with a single and Jordan Beck followed suit. With one out, Hunter Goodman doubled in Freeman, then former Giants infielder Thairo Estrada hit a grounder to second that Fitzgerald scooped up and tossed to first, where Encarnacion flat missed it, failing to stretch toward the ball, which glanced off the end of his glove as two runs scored. After a walk and a flyout, Keston Hiura lined a single to left to send in another run, and the Rockies added single runs in the fifth and sixth off Tristan Beck. Working in a non-save situation in the ninth, Camilo Doval gave up Goodman's 11th homer of the season. There was a bizarre moment in the seventh when, with Daniel Johnson at first after a pinch-hit walk, Jung Hoo Lee lined out softly to Juan Mejia. Mejia dropped the ball, picked it up and fired to first, and Johnson was declared out — but replays showed he was safe. The Giants, however, did not signal for a replay review in time. Schmitt, playing third while Gold Glove third baseman Matt Chapman is on the IL, turned in a sensational play in the fifth, ranging into foul ground for a sharp bouncer by Hiura and making a long throw off-balance to first to end the inning. Colorado is 12-55, tied for the worst-ever start in major-league history with the 1932 Red Sox and the Giants typically handle the Rockies with ease, with a 53-17 record against them over the past five seasons. Hayden Birdsong (3-1) will start Thursday's finale against Colorado's Antonio Senzatela, who has a 1-10 record and 6.68 ERA.
